Mayur Patole as the 5 year old, wide-eyed Budhia is lovely

Critic ReviewRating: 7.0 / 10
The story of Odisha’s wonder boy and his coach Biranchi Das needs to be heard. As a sports drama or a biopic, this one hits the right nerve.
Can the film pull the real Budhia Singh back on track?

Critic ReviewRating: 6.0 / 10
Manoj Bajpayee plays coach Biranchi Das with just the right mixture of truculence and affection. Mayur Patole plays Budhia without an ounce of artifice in this zesty film.
A triumphant, tragic, true story brought to life

The drama builds nicely especially during the mega-run in which Das sets a 70-km target for Budhia. The background music, camerawork and editing lend to the mood and escalating drama which staggers a bit in the second half but keeps its sights firmly on the finish line — as to who really knew what was best for the boy. Born To Run’s release is consciously timed with the Rio Olympics — the very event in which Das thought Budhia would excel.
Heartfelt and highly effective tribute

Budhia Singh - Born to Run is by no means a perfect film, but it is an honest, heartfelt and highly effective tribute to a coach and his ward who were bafflingly stopped in their tracks. Overall, Budhia Singh - Born to Run is worth running all the way to the nearest multiplex for.
Budhia Singh - Born To Run Review
Review by: Bollywood Hungama News Network
Critic ReviewRating: 5.0 / 10
BUDHIA SINGH - BORN TO RUN, despite winning a national award and being a good film, has less awareness due to poor publicity and lesser star value. Overall, the film will have to rely heavily on word of mouth and strong audience support to post good box office figures. But if you are in the mood to watch an inspirational tale of human spirit, endurance and sacrifice, do watch this one.
‘Budhia Singh Born To Run’ races far ahead of the average sports biopic
Review by: scroll.in
Critic ReviewRating: 0.0 / 10
Born To Run fits the bill of the average sports biopic, but it rises a few notches above the Indian version of the genre. The 111-minute movie might have benefited from fewer montages of Budhia panting over asphalt and less pantomime performances by the government employees (played by Chhaya Kadam and Gajraj Rao). This sports biopic wants to be black and white, but it’s actually a nice shade of grey.

Critic ReviewRating: 6.0 / 10
Speaking of the Olympics, it is no coincidence that the movie releases the day the quadrennial sporting extravaganza begins in Rio. While it may have been marketed as a inspirational film, it has some very typical elements which prevent it from truly taking flight. Overall, a fairly decent watch, and not just for the bachelors who love their sports, but a family entertainer, albeit of a different kind.
Budhia Singh – Born To Run review: Sleek, fast and pointed

Critic ReviewRating: 8.0 / 10
Budhia Singh – Born To Run doesn’t give us any dull moments. It’s a fantastic relationship drama in the disguise of a tout thriller.
